Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon Chapter 16 The Rise of the Zhao Family (2)
Qin Yu and his entourage walked through the mansion for a long time, and finally came to a courtyard gate located in the northwest corner. Zhao Hongxiang was worried about the things in the front hall, and left the place in a hurry after admonishing him.
After Zhao Hongxiang walked away, Qin Yi took Zhao Xiaoli and Chu Ye'er into the hospital. There is a three-person high rockery, and there are many green plants and potted plants. There is a clear spring under the rockery, and the ground is dug into a gully, and the goose eggs are spread inside, and the flow is drained through. Another wooden bridge is built on the ravine, and the end is delicate and exquisite, which is amazing.
In the depths of the courtyard is a two-story building, downstairs there is a living room and two bedrooms, and the left and right rooms are equipped with beds, tables and other furniture. Upstairs is a large room, with desks, chairs, bookshelves on the left side, and a bed on the right side. Whether it is upstairs or downstairs, it is a light gauze curtain, which looks quite like a girl's room.
Chu Ye'er was a girl, so she was overjoyed, and took the first step to occupy the room on the east side of the first floor. Zhao Xiaoli had no intention of competing with her, and happily lived in the room on the west side.
Qin Yu saw that they were busy cleaning up their respective basement houses, and they would not settle down for a while, so he came to the second floor alone. He first walked into the study, took out the jade slips that needed to be deduced from his sleeve and put them on the low cabinet, and then put the Dan furnace on the ground. In addition, there were only a few sets of his clothes and some top-grade spirit beads left in his sleeve bag. Most of these spirit beads were given by Zhao Jian along with the sleeve bag, and a small part was left by Qin Yu himself, and the total number was about eight thousand.
Qin Yu searched for it in his sleeve bag, and turned out a bronze token, which was the one in the Shadow Killing Palace. Looking at the token in his hand, Qin Yu thought for a moment and hid it on the side of the sleeve that was close to him. In this way, when encountering danger, raising your hand can inject true essence.
"I originally thought that when I arrived at the Zhao family, I didn't have to worry about my life. Unexpectedly, it was also a tiger's den in Longtan, and in the end, they had to rely on them to protect their own safety. If I knew this, I wouldn't have made big promises in front of her. ”
Qin Yu shook his head and suppressed all this distracting thoughts, and then he swallowed another pill of Kun Yuan Dan and began to meditate and practice.
More than two hours later, Qin Yu woke up from his meditation, and his mind had returned to calm. He called Chu Ye'er and Zhao Xiaoli upstairs, let them divide the left and right, and then began to deduce Yanwen.
In the evening, the Zhao family's subordinates brought food. Qin Yu was not hungry, so he asked Chu Ye'er and Zhao Xiaoli to eat first. Not long after the two of them went downstairs, Chu Ye'er ran upstairs again, and whispered in Qin Yu's ear: "Brother Qin, the food is poisonous!"
"Oh?"
Qin Yu's eyes froze, looked at Chu Ye'er, and said in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
Hearing this, Chu Yeren pouted, nodded, and said, "The taste of the dishes has changed." ”
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and whispered: "You and Xiaoli go and deal with the food, be careful, don't let people outside see it." Later, I'll take you out to dinner. ”
When Chu Ye'er heard that she was going out to eat, the depression on her face was instantly swept away, and she went downstairs happily again. Qin Yu smiled helplessly, took out the token of the Shadow Killing Palace, and injected the true yuan into it. After doing this, he buried himself in the deducing Yanwen.
After a long time, Qin Yu felt a little more breath in the room, raised his head, and just saw the veiled Qiu Mei'er emerging from the shadows.
"Wait a minute, I'll finish this first. ”
Qiu Mei'er nodded when she heard this, and sat aside.
After about half an hour like this, Qin Yu exhaled lightly, raised his head again, and saw Qiu Mei'er sitting there upright, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "I can't think of the end, it still depends on you Shadow Killing Palace." ”
Qiu Mei'er rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said, "I didn't expect that the killer of the Shadow Killing Hall would also be called as a guard." Tell me, what's the matter?"
Qin Yu had already thought about it clearly, and when he saw her asking, he said directly: "This time, I need five people to guard me for a month, and each of them has a thousand top-grade spirit beads, how about it?"
Qiu Mei'er thought for a moment and said, "This matter has to be decided by the elders." ”
As she spoke, she saw that as soon as she turned her wrist, there was a yellow charm on her fingertips. As Qiu Mei'er continued to inject the true element into it, the charm began to burn, and turned into a flash of fire through the wall. It didn't take long for Qiu Mei'er to frown, and said in a low voice, "The elder has already agreed." It's just that the other three are in the same door, and it will take two days to get here. ”
Qin Yu nodded when he heard this, and settled the matter. The two waited for a while, and the elder of the Shadow Killing Temple, who had never appeared, also rushed over. Qin Yu called Chu Ye'er and Zhao Xiaoli, took them out of Zhao's mansion, and went all the way to Luoyang City.
On a watchtower in the courtyard of the Zhao family, two figures were standing on a high place, watching every move of Qin Yu and his party. Until Qin Yu and the others boarded the ferry on the pier, neither of them spoke.
"Second brother, will he already notice something, in case he tells the ancestor ...... then?"
"I know how, and I tell how. It's just an outsider, and the ancestor can still kill you and me!"
As the man spoke, he turned around, and it was clearly the middle-aged Zhao Zhishang in Chinese clothes that he had seen in the hall before.
"But ......"
Another man wanted to say more, but Zhao Zhishang interrupted him again and said coldly: "No, my Zhao family's thousand-year-old foundation, how can it fall into the hands of outsiders." ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and went downstairs without looking back.
On the ferry, Zhao Xiaoli and Chu Ye'er just lay on the eaves behind the boat to play in the water, while Qin Yu stood alone on the bow of the boat and enjoyed the night on the lake.
"Are you in trouble at the Zhao family?"
Qiu Mei'er's voice was obviously close to her ears, and Qin Yu couldn't sense her existence at all.
"There are thousands of mysteries in the world, and they really have their own mysteries!"
He sighed secretly, and then nodded, "The Zhao family is not in harmony, and it is a little dirty!"
"Then why do you want to stay in the Zhao family?"
Qiu Mei'er's voice still lingered in her ears.
Qin Yu shook his head lightly and said, "No avenue, no leisure." Left and right are just struggling to survive in the quagmire, so why should I waste my energy to find a new quagmire. What's more, the ancestor of the Zhao family has the grace of knowing me, how can I just want to leave happily. ”
Qiu Mei'er saw that Qin Yu said lightly, and knew that he had a plan in his heart, so she didn't ask anymore.
The ferry boat rowed for a whole hour to get people to the pier near Luoyang City. Qin Yu took out a spirit bead and threw it to the boatman, asking him to wait here, and then carry the group back.
At this time, in the lobby of the Zhao family, the ancestor of the Zhao family was sitting alone drinking tea. A moment later, a burly man with a scimitar at his waist stepped in, clenched his hands into fists, and knelt down on one knee in front of the ancestor.
"Zhao Hu, the lowly night general, has seen the old handsome!"
Old Ancestor just stared at the big man in front of him and didn't say a word. After a long time, he sighed faintly and said in a deep voice: "After three hundred years of peace, can the old man's Yelang still hold up the butcher's knife!"
Zhao Hu was not surprised when he heard this, and said loudly: "I am willing to die for the old handsome!"
"That's good, that's good!"
The ancestor said this, but his expression was cold and without any joy.
